Widespread tomfoolery ensues in new trailer for Adam McKay's Don't Look Up
The star-studded, full trailer showcases complacent politicians facing the end of the world
In Adam McKay’s new film, Don’t Look Up, two scientists try to get the government and the general public to care about the end of the world (sound familiar?). McKay called up all of his friends in Hollywood for the apocalyptic comedy based on real events that haven’t happened (yet).
In Don’t Look Up, Kate Dibiasky (Jennifer Lawrence), an astronomy grad student, and her professor Dr. Randall Mindy (Leonardo DiCaprio) make an astounding discovery of a comet orbiting within the solar system. However, the comet is on a direct collision course with Earth and no one—not even the president—really seems to care. Faced with an inconvenient and difficult fact to navigate, they do what the people of this country are so good at: Ignore the problem and hope it goes away.
